I've just installed an Adaptec host adapter and a Quantum P105S harddisk in my computer and there seems to be some problem with the Linux SCSI drivers. Linux (0.98) detects the host adapter and the hard drive correctly but writing to the hard disk is terribly slow (reading from the drive is no problem). To me it seems as if the driver was actually occupying the bus without transferring any data to the hard disk ('cause its not making any noise as it normally does). Transferring 1MB of data takes several mi
nutes before I do get the UN*X prompt again.
I know that it is no hardware problem because everything works correct under OS2.
